PLAN RADIO REVUE FOR HOSPITAL FUND Thirty Artists, Three Bands and Three Orchestras to Take Part in Program. With & typlcal broadcasting'studio as a setting, 30 of Washington's leading radio artists, three service bands and three broadcasting dance orchestras will stage a pretentious radio revue In the New Washington Auditorium, February 4, for the benefit of the Washington radio hos- pital fund. The revue will give Washington broadcast listeners their first opportunity to go behind the scenes in a radio station studio and watch their favorite broadcasters perform at the microphone. The revue will introduce a repro- duction of a broadcasting studio de- signed for the Auditorium_through the co-operation of stations WRC and WCAP. From this studio a con- densed radio program, composed of all of the features of the regular eve- ning programs, will be presented direct to the listeners in the Auditorfum. The program will be directed from the stage by four famillar radio voices—Willlam T. Plerson and Paul Gascolgne of WCAP, and C. Feland Gan-’ non and George F. Ross of WRC. They will direct the entire perform- ance in the customary broadcasting manner. Other parts of the program will introduce the Irving Boernstein's Wardman Park Hotel Orchestra, the Cafe La Java Orchestra Paradis Cafe Band, and the Army, Navy and Marine Bands. All of the features of the studio and remote control broadcasting will be observed during the program, and the comedy of the studlo, which sel- dom gets into the air, will be both visible and audible to the Auditorfum audience. The program, however, will not be broadcast. The revue has been arranged by Willlam M. Swee RADIO QUERIES Radio Editor: Would you be so kind as to give me information concerning station WMBS at Miami, Fla.? Its call let- ters stand for Wonderful Beach Speedwa; Who this station? Also give me its dis- tance from Washington and if it's Leo Riseman’s Orchestra that plays there. Wishing to fill out a few blanks on my log cards I would like to know the air line distance from Washing- ton of the following stations: WCAL, Northfield, Minn.; WLA Minneapo- lis. Minn.: WBAH. Minneapolis, Minn.: WBT, Charlotte, N. C.; WHA, Madi- son, Wis; WCAY, Milwaukee, Wis.; WBAYV, Columbus, Ohio, and WOI, Almes, ‘Towa.—J. S WMBF is the station in Miami, Fla Its call letters stand for “Wonderful Miami Beach Florida." It is operat- ed by the Fleetwood Hotel. The air line distance from Washington to Miami is 928 miles. Leo Reisman's Orchestra broadcasts from WBZ. In order to bring your log cards up to date strike out the call letters WLAG, Minneapolis, and replace them with WCCO. WLAG changed ownership several months ago and was assigned the new call letters. The air line distance from Wash- ington to Northfield is 917 miles; to Minneapolis, 935 miles; to Charlotte, 328 miles; to Madison, 707 miles; to Milwaukee, 635 mile to Columbus, 327 miles, and to Aimes, 898 miles. operates Radio Editor: What station uses the experimental call 2XH? Also what is the distance from Washington to KFKB, Milford, Kans.?—D. F. B The experimental call 2XH is used by the Cutting and Washington Radio Corporation, Woodmere, N. Y. The air line distance from Washington to Milford is 1,066 miles. Radio Editor: Could you tell me who 3XAZ and 3BWL are? I heard 3XAZ calling 3BWL last Wednesday night. He also referred to 3BWT, Canadian, and 3MJ. The announcer spoke of some- thing coming in over the loud speak- er and used the terms QRM, QSA, QRH and QRX. At the same time I heard some jazz music on stringed instruments, some singing and a re- cital of some poetic selection. An announcement was made that Swanee T've forgotten which. The only call let. ters I caught was WHN, New York, but it seemed as if there were three different things coming in at the same time on a wave length of about 360 metters.

Some of the new self-supporting windings require some form of ad- hesive material to hold the windings together and prevent the turns of wire from unravelling. It is well to bear in mind, however, that the ap- plication of material like shellac will bring to naught the care expended in making a “low loss’ type of coil. ‘Whers it is necessary to hold wind- ings together either for mechanical strength or for appearance, use only collodion. This can be applied with a fine brush, using only as much as is absolutely necessary, and can be dried out and hardened by leaving it in a hot oven for about 15 mintues or more, depending on how hot the oven is. Colls can be space wound, eliminat- ing the necessity of using insulated wire by winding bare wire and thread simultaneously on the form. The winding should be put on tightly. After the winding is completed the thread can be removed, leaving a space-wound cofl of bare wire. The size of thread or cord used will de- termine the spacing of the wire. A coating of collodion can then be ap- plied to hold the turns in place. Cause of Noise. Poor connections, made hastily to binding posts or soldered poorly to terminal lugs, are the cause of a great proportion of the static-like noises in recelving sets. If you are going to solder your connectlons use solder- ing lugs on the terminals of your in- struments and be sure, in soldering, not to apply too much heat, as that usually causes a loosening of the con- nection or unsolders the connection between the wire and the terminal Reproduction Prohibited. in the case of transtormers, variome- tors and other such {nstruments. A perfectly good set and good phones or loud speskers are often blamed for trouble which is located in the phone plug. Always be sure that the contact mechanism of a phone plug is good before using it It is also wise to examine your phone cord occastonally to make sure that there are no breaks in it or any possible chance that the end of the phone cord is Ioose in the phone cord tips. Unless your fixed condensers have long solderings taps, do not, attempt to solder to their terminals. Doing 8o will alter thelr capacity and in some cases will render the condenser useless. Loose Binding Post Heads. In spite of all the care you exer- clse in tightening up binding post connectfons, the binding post heads will loosen up in time. It is a very good practice to go over the set pe- riodically and tighten up all binding Ppost connections. Do not neglect the C battery In your amplifier circuit. While most fans realize the need of frequency renewals or charging of A and B batterles, few of them ever take the trouble to sees whether the C battery fs in good condition. The life of a C battery in a cir- cult is practically equal to its shelf lite, or, in other words, the time the battery would last If it were not used. When this time Is past and the C battery shows signs of old age an- other one should replacs it. Remember that a good C battery fn your receiver will save you a considerable amount of B battery current and thereby reduce your B battery expense. — the call letters of the U. S.

QRM means “Are You Being Interfered With?"; QSA, “Ar: My Sig- nals Strong QRH, “What Is Your Wave Length?’ and QRX, “Shall I Decrease M Frequency?” Radio Editor: Broadcast listeners and amateurs have been, for a number of months through The Star, exchanging views and opinfons relative to telegraph in- terference on broadcast waves. Some of the letters from both sides have been rather strong and the question arises, Are we getting anywhere by our iiterary bombardment of each other? The aifferences and feeling between amateur and broadcast lis- tener, or “BCL"” as he is commonly known, is, as usual, due to misunder- standing. I happen to be an ama- teur, and I will endeavor to present as truthfully as possible things con- cerning the problem as we amateurs see them. ‘There are a large, number of dis- tinct flelds of radlo service, among which may be mentioned na types of commercial, including shipping and transocean! amateur, con work, broadcasting, etc. Each has a distinct and definite field of its own, and is recognized and controlled by the Government accordingly. One of the very latest classes to gain recognition 1is radio broadcasting. Nevertheless, its short growth has been at a tremendous rate, and al- ready has become of great economic value.

Radlo amateurs were' a rather large group away back in 1912, when the first acts internationally governing radio were passed on. We have grown gradually in numbers since then except for the brief perfod of the late war when our services were requirec by the Government. Today the amateur Is found everywhere throughout the United States and in practically every nation throughout the world. Nightly amateurs in Washington, D.
